Kyle Stowers hits 3 homers, drives in 6 runs to lead Marlins past the Orioles 11-1
Stowers is the first Marlins player to hit three homers in a game since Brian Anderson on Sept. 18, 2020, in the second game of a doubleheader against Washington. The 27-yeaer-old left fielder also joins fellow Marlins Mike Lowell (2004) and Cody Ross (2006) in accomplishing the feat.
Ramón Laureano homered for Baltimore, which has lost consecutive games for the first time since July 1-2.
Stowers led off the second inning with
a shot to right
against Brandon Young (0-4) to open the scoring. An inning later, he sent Young's first-pitch curveball 398 feet for
a two-run blast to right-center
.
In the fifth, Stowers worked a 2-2 count before homering
over the scoreboard in right
. The 27-year-old had a base hit in the seventh and added an RBI single in the eighth for his
first career five-hit game
.
It was Stowers' fourth multi-homer game of the season. At the break, he has career highs in home runs (19) and RBIs (54).
Baltimore selected Stowers in the second round of the 2019 amateur draft. He debuted in 2022, and the Orioles sent him to Miami at last year's trade deadline as part of a package for pitcher Trevor Rogers.
Otto Lopez
followed Stowers' homer in the third with a solo shot, the second time Miami hit consecutive home runs this season.
Miami starter Eury Pérez (3-2) allowed three hits and struck out six in seven shutout innings.
Young surrendered a career-high seven runs in 4 1/3 innings.
The game was delayed 1 hour, 38 minutes at the start due to rain.
Key moment
Stowers' third homer made it 7-0 and ended the day for Young, who gave up more home runs (four) than he had in his first five starts combined (three).
Key stat
Stowers is the first player to hit three home runs against Baltimore since Toronto's Bo Bichette in the second game of a doubleheader on Sept. 5, 2022.

Cam Cannarella's Marlins Selection Sparks Debate About MLB Scouting
Cam Cannarella's Marlins Selection Sparks Debate About MLB Scouting originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Cam Cannarella did everything right in college. He hit for average, defended at a high level, showed up in the postseason, and anchored a Clemson lineup from day one — all while learning the outfield on the fly. Yet despite a career .360 average, 262 hits, and a long list of accolades, he didn't hear his name called until the final pick of the first round of the 2025 MLB Draft. Advertisement The Miami Marlins made Cannarella the No. 43 overall selection, a pick with a $2.2 million slot value. But for many watching the draft broadcast, the takeaway wasn't that he was a first-rounder — it was that he nearly wasn't. Two years ago, some analysts said Cannarella would've been a top-10 pick. But concerns about his power ceiling and limited stolen base totals led to hesitation. He hit .353 in 2025 but stole just six bases and homered five times. Evaluators praised his polish but questioned his upside. What that line of thinking ignores, however, is just how consistent and valuable Cannarella was — especially in big moments. He hit .455 with five home runs in 11 career home postseason games, and posted an .841 slugging percentage in NCAA Tournament play. His .989 career fielding percentage in center, a position he only started playing as a freshman, makes him one of the best defenders in Clemson history. Advertisement He became the first Tiger since Seth Beer to earn All-America honors in multiple seasons, and just the second Clemson player to be a three-time All-ACC selection since the 1970s. Yes, the tools may not jump off the page in a showcase setting. But Cannarella was the heartbeat of a program that returned to national relevance, and in many ways, his college résumé is more impressive than players picked well ahead of him. The slide wasn't dramatic enough to push him out of the first round — but it's a reminder of how quickly production can be overshadowed by projection. The Marlins may have gotten a steal not just in a player — but in a culture-setter. Advertisement Time will tell whether the scouts were right about Cannarella's ceiling. But there's no question about his floor — it's already built on a rock-solid foundation of results. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 14, 2025, where it first appeared.

Why was the MLB All-Star Game moved from Atlanta in 2021 to now?
The 2025 MLB All-Star Game is happening in Atlanta as planned, but as you might recall from a few years back, the Midseason Classic was supposed to be hosted in 2021 by the Braves' stadium that opened four years before. MLB HOME RUN DERBY ODDS: Who's the favorite to win it all? Instead, there was controversy and the festivities were moved to Colorado at the Rockies' Coors Field. So if you're here, you might be wondering: what exactly happened that moved the game from Atlanta that year? We've got the whole story as we get set for the 2025 MLB Home Run Derby and All-Star Game this week. Let's break it all down: Why was the MLB All-Star Game moved from Atlanta? Let's go back to 2021. It was in March of that year that Georgia's state legislature passed a sweeping law known as the Election Integrity Act of 2021. The bill had all kinds of provisions that limited voters even further in the state, particularly for voters of color. with changes made to voting by mail and the ban of giving out food and water to those standing in line waiting to vote. Momentum began to have MLB move the scheduled All-Star Game out of Atlanta. What happened next that led to the All-Star Game being moved? Then-president Joe Biden said he'd "strongly support" the game being moved. Via USA TODAY Sports: "I think today's professional athletes are acting incredibly responsibly. I would strongly support them doing that," Biden, a Democrat, said. "People look to them. They're leaders. "Look what's happened with the NBA, as well. Look what's happened across the board. The very people who are victimized the most are the people who are the leaders in these various sports, and it's just not right." With support from all over, from the Players Association to Barack Obama to the Players Alliance -- a group of current and former MLBers who focus on diversity in the sport, among many other things -- commissioner Rob Manfred made the decision to move the game. What did Rob Manfred say at the time the MLB All-Star Game was moved out of Atlanta? Per his statement "Over the last week, we have engaged in thoughtful conversations with Clubs, former and current players, the Players Association, and The Players Alliance, among others, to listen to their views. I have decided that the best way to demonstrate our values as a sport is by relocating this year's All-Star Game and MLB Draft. "Major League Baseball fundamentally supports voting rights for all Americans and opposes restrictions to the ballot box. In 2020, MLB became the first professional sports league to join the non-partisan Civic Alliance to help build a future in which everyone participates in shaping the United States. We proudly used our platform to encourage baseball fans and communities throughout our country to perform their civic duty and actively participate in the voting process. Fair access to voting continues to have our game's unwavering support." Why did MLB then award the 2025 MLB All-Star Game back to Atlanta? There's no good answer to that. It could be that the political climate changed, it could be MLB giving in after its original decision, it could be all of the above From 11Alive: 'I made the decision in 2021 to move the event, and I understand, believe me, that people had then and probably still have different views as to the merits of that decision,' Manfred said in November 2023. ... Some Democrats were conciliatory after the announcement that the All-Star Game would return in 2025 — then-state Rep. Teri Anulewicz, whose district included the area around Truist Park, told 11Alive it was "wonderful that what (MLB) is doing is really correcting something that happened during a very heated time."
